EPL: Man Utd’s 4-0 defeat to Palace final nail in coffin for Ten Hag – Scholes

Former Manchester United midfielder, Paul Scholes, has claimed that the team’s 4-0 defeat to Crystal Palace on Monday is the “final nail in the coffin” for manager Erik ten Hag.

The result leaves the Red Devils facing the possibility of not playing in Europe at all next season.

Scholes, who was working on Premier League Productions alongside Michael Owen, said it felt like the end for Ten Hag.

He said: “It’s been a difficult one, I know Michael’s saying he’s felt it for a long time and the signs have been there that it’s going to be difficult for him to do it next year.

“But tonight felt like the final nail in the coffin, really.

“It felt like the end. If it is the end, I’m not sure what’s out there at the minute.

“I’ve felt he might get another year and work for a club that has calmed down a little bit by the new owners but it just doesn’t feel like it now.”
